TR: For Julie's hand, Mr. Weinbrenner, I offer you fifty head of sheep (SFX), fourteen cattle (SFX), and this thoroughbred horse (SFX). Plus this bag full of shekels. (THUMP)

FN: You are a good boy, Chad.

TR: Plus this prize bull (SFX), this slave girl (SS FOREIGN CHATTER, JINGLE OF EARRINGS), these two camels (SFX), and a third baseman to be named later.

FN: You are a good boy. Go. Be happy.

GK: See? It's the traditional way that gets the girl. If you're in love with someone, never underestimate the influence of the father. Lavish gifts, feasting (FN: Bring in the roasted goat!), extravagant praise (FN: Oh Worshipful Master and Serene Presence, I your unworthy servant kneel humbly at your feet and do beseech you for the honor of marriage to your daughter Julie.), (SHEEP). The way to win the hand of a girl is to ask the man who she loves more than she'll ever love you. A message from P.S.A., the Paternal Society of America.
